ECFC Hosts Teddy Bear Band and Candy Trade-In

Stillwater Area Public Schools’ Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) invites families with children ages 0-5 to join them on Saturday, November 2 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. for a Teddy Bear Band Concert and Candy Trade-In Bash!

Families are invited to come join the fun and dancing to the nationally recognized Teddy Bear Band! The band has been inspiring movement, imagination and fun for children, families and stuffed friends with musical games and more since 1985. Kids are invited to BYOTB (Bring Your Own Teddy Bear) and wear a costume if they would like.

PowerUp, a program of Lakeview Health, will also be at the event with prizes for kids who trade in their bag of Halloween candy. Everyone who turns in their candy can choose a prize and register to win a four pack of passes to Just Jump or Skyzone. All candy will be donated to the military.

There is no cost for this event with advance registration at stillwaterschools.org/ECFC_TBB or at 651.351.4000. Cost at the door for those who do not preregister is $3/person or $10/family. All families are welcome, including those who are ECFE participants – past and present.

About The Teddy Bear Band

The music and fun of Teddy Bear Band is created with the intent for children to gain and maintain a positive sense of self and an appreciation of their own abilities. "Adult friendly" opportunities are provided to encourage parents and teachers to join in the fun as role models to support this process. Participation and interaction are cornerstone concepts of the Teddy Bear Band's musical shows.
